Comment on American middle-class musicians are worth fighting for

Comments

Sounds good to me. If I had concerns, it would be that the vultures of the music industry, the labels, will make a windfall but none of the money will flow to the actual musicians. A second concern is that this will remove what little diversity there is on the radio. Economies of scale and agreements between the labels and the broadcasters will shrink the playlist to a handful of songs/artists. Also worry this will kill college radio, some of the few remaining bright spots on fm radio. All concerns aside, anything that can get more money to musicians seems like a good thing to me. I hope it pans out.
